It’s time to step into the CEO role of YOU INC. Your greatest asset is you! ~ Alissa Finerman
“I first met Alissa when she was the keynote at a women’s leadership conference. I was so impressed with her thoughtful approach to organizational dynamics and working with your core strengths that I hired her to speak at my department’s strategy session. Once again, Alissa delivered. My team left Alissa’s seminar feeling more empowered and energized about our team and their positions within the team.”
Judy, Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP
“My time spent in Alissa’s coaching program has been invaluable. She has helped me think more expansively and focus on the core values, principles and goals of “Me INC.” Her observations, insights, and strategies have caused massive acceleration in my success in all areas of my life. Alissa is a definite asset to any team.”
Mike, Disney executive, Writer/Producer/Author
“Alissa was engaging right from the start! She brought a wealth of knowledge from her time on Wall Street to the tennis courts that translated successfully at our 3rd Annual Women in Real Estate summit. Her “Leveraging Your Strengths” seminar was interactive, informative and thought provoking which kept our guests motivated even after the summit. The women enjoyed learning more about their work style and how to enhance their already powerful impact at work and beyond.”

“The Prostate Cancer Foundation’s mission is to see the day when we enjoy a cancer-free world. To do this we need every employee and researcher reaching their potential and thinking without limits. Alissa worked with our team to help us set transformational goals, gain greater clarity on tier one priorities and implement small steps. It takes a great team to change the world and Alissa is a thought leader and coach you want on your team.”

“Life changing! This is how I would describe what it’s like to work with Alissa. I’ve read her book, taken her class, and had the pleasure of going through coaching sessions with her, and she is one of the most dynamic, inspiring, and motivating people I’ve ever encountered. I’ve always known that I have the potential to do exceptional and impactful things, but it wasn’t until I worked with Alissa that I felt empowered and had the right tools to reach my Top 1% in all areas of my life. When I first met her, I was stuck and overwhelmed by all of the various places in my life I wanted to improve upon. With Alissa’s incredible help and strategies, I was able to overcome these obstacles and gained a renewed energy for the exciting road I have ahead. Thanks to her I have learned how to set meaningful goals and action plans for achieving my dreams, and my mindset has transformed from “I want to do this” to “I will do this.” But her true greatness lies in her big heart that she brings into her coaching, and how she genuinely wants to help her clients be their best. You couldn’t ask for a better teacher and coach.”
Nicole, Employment Branding Manager, NIKE, Inc.
“I wanted to send you a quick note to thank you for moving me closer to “living in my top 1%.” One of the things you and I discussed in your workshop was bringing together two things that are important to me — family and the value of giving back. We discussed the idea of starting a family foundation. I mentioned the idea to my family at dinner one night and for the next several months every one of my three children on separate occasions asked me if I had made any progress in starting the family foundation. Their interest was more than I expected and certainly confirmed for me it was the right thing to do. On Christmas day I presented each of them with the Statement for our Family Foundation and they were thrilled. They have all already had a part in how we have made charitable contributions as some of it has gone to the schools they attend. I could not be happier with the initial outcome and my hope is that this is something that far outlasts me and gives my children the joy and satisfaction of giving back for years and years. It will also bring us together to discuss where the contributions should be made on an ongoing basis, which is a great thing. I am very grateful. All the best to you for a terrific year.”

We can’t wait to report back on all our progress!”

“A big shout out and thank you for your amazing ‘Living in Your Top 1%’ workshop. When I met you at Barnes and Noble for your book signing 3 months ago, I had a vision, but I was stuck. I knew that your book and amazing energy were just what I needed to put my plan into action and execute it. You’ve helped me make this vision become a reality. Now I am about to embark on a journey of a lifetime. I am very thankful you went onto pursue the life of your dreams, because you are truly helping others achieve the same. I am living proof. Not sure if I could have done it without you. Thank you Alissa, you are Amazing and your book, Living in Your Top 1%, is truly awesome! xo MG

“Alissa’s book is a masterpiece of helpful tips to guide the reader to focus their dreams/desires. She is a no nonsense coach who is straightforward rather than woo-woo. Her worksheets and rituals have helped me focus my visions for the year very clearly and within weeks of starting them I saw clarified, dramatic gains in the directions I wanted to go with my business. Her tips are helpful for professional as well as personal goals. She’s absolutely fantastic without getting stuck in the murkiness that many self-guidance/coaching books often do. Alissa’s worksheets and rituals will help anyone focus and streamline their passions in 2013.” Nancy Alder, Master Yoga teacher, writer, and mom.
“I have just completed the “first read” of your book ‘Living in your top 1%.’ I have done a lot of reading of some very great authors and I now consider you among them. I spent the day yesterday reviewing goals with the agents of my real estate company and your book created an excellent format to motivate and articulate a productive blueprint for 2012. Thank you for writing this book and helping me work to create a fabulous 2012 for myself and many others!”
Bruce, Williams & Stuart Real Estate, RI Realtor of the year 2011
“Working with Alissa changed the direction of my life. The simple rituals she gave me, helped to guide me through the process of moving from excuses to action. The YOU INC. Blueprint she created is an instrumental tool that helped me create a plan to achieve my goals, specifically in the areas of my business and healthy living. My goals are being achieved today and I can honestly say I’m living in my Top 1%. Thank you, Alissa, for changing my life.”
Rachel, Entrepreneur/Founder of Ami and former COO, Anna Beck Designs
“I had the pleasure of meeting Alissa during one of my law school classes when she spoke to our class. One of the things that left an imprint with me was her concept of developing your ‘You, Inc.’ This perspective has significantly helped me develop spiritual, financial, and career goals. I purchased her book at the end of class, and I have read it at least ten times.
After law school I continued to stay in touch with Miss Alissa, and read her book for inspiration while studying for the bar. When I received the positive news that I passed the bar and was set to be sworn in as an attorney, I invited Miss Alissa to witness this amazing chapter in my life.
Alissa is one of my sources of inspiration and mentors.”
Brittany, Lawyer
“Our coaching strategy sessions have been very enlightening and exciting. They were the perfect way to kick off the new year and the next phase of my life. They helped me see that the future is mine. Sometimes the best of plans, the greatest of intentions, are met with even greater obstacles — but I’m ready. Where I felt overwhelmed and unfocused six weeks ago, I now feel like I have a direction to move in; structure where there was once chaos. Thank you for helping me regain my focus and energy to move forward with confidence. Wishing you great success with your book.”
Karen, Investment Management

Listening to her speak and reading her book, you know she’s exceptional and she makes you believe that you can be too. She also has a big heart, sharing her passion for a good life with everyone, including those who need extra help, such as my Exceeding Expectations charity. The top 1% is a place we can all be living.”

Tiffany, Social Media Strategist
“Your coaching has been invaluable for me. I hope that has been clear from all that I was able to put into motion this past month. I need to remind myself what is possible when my mind is in a lighter place and when I can effectively define and breakdown my goals and the obstacles I might encounter along the way, into clear, easily manageable steps. I will most definitely write down all I have learned; it’s a great exercise in gratitude and noting my accomplishments. The sense of self-discovery and accomplishment has been entirely energizing.”
Marlaine, Publishing
“Thank you for your kindness. Working with you has been a great experience and has helped me to grow exponentially. You are a powerhouse and an exceptionally wise and beautiful person. I hope we will be able to do more work in the future. I really enjoy your newsletter.”
Richard, Advertising
“This is one of the most valuable and possibly life changing endeavors I have undertaken. I have a renewed approach to both my body and my habits of mind. I also appreciated your efficiency and ability to help me clarify my goals. It was an enriching experience and your positive attitude is the reason I did accomplish several goals. I’ve also incorporated your vocabulary of a “win” in my meetings. Thank you for your support.”
